ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems
Why ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems?
The ISO 9001 quality management systems standard is designed for managing the quality of products, services, and processes for any business, of any size, working in any sector. There are more than a million companies and organisations across the world certified to ISO 9001. Analysis of companies certified to this internationally recognised standard has shown they grow faster and do better than their competitors. This standard aims to keep your products and services aligned with your customer’s requirements. For this reason, certification to this standard is often the first purchasing requirement suppliers have to meet.
Focus of ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems
The quality management standard focuses on:
- management leadership
- converting business strategy into tangible objectives and targets
